Chapter Eighty-Three: I Can't Afford It
"Probably not." Chu Nanxin replied eagerly, "But today's General Chu can speak well in the court, let alone the Chu family?" ”
When it comes to the interests of large families, once the in-laws are concluded, even if they are not said on the surface, in practice, everyone will bother to abide by them, and it is impossible to make changes because of the words of outsiders.
Chu Nanyue looked at her innocent appearance and couldn't help asking, "What do you think I can say?" ”
"Although the Chu family has severed relations with you, you still have the blood of the Chu family, as long as General Chu comes forward and pleads for me in front of my grandfather. Just say......" Chu Nanxin thought about his words, "just say that the Xu family is unbearable, and suggest that grandfather cancel this marriage." ”
"You're thinking too simply." Chu Nanyue frowned and looked at her.
It can be heard that Chu Nanxin is really desperate, so he will choose to ask her for help.
As for Second Mrs. Chu, she can probably abandon her own daughter for the sake of glory.
Chu Nanxin was anxious, and she actually thought of finding herself, and she was not too surprised by this approach.
"Am I simple? Or is General Chu not going to help me at all? Chu Nanxin cried, but there was no gratitude in her eyes, only resentment.
"I'm neither going to help you, nor can I help you." Chu Nanyue simply made it clear. "Second Miss Chu, I'm out of company."
"Chu Nanyue! You'll regret it. Behind Chu Nanyue, Chu Nanxin said loudly.
Chu Nanyue didn't stop a step, turned around and walked towards Kunning Palace.
Returning to the seat of Kunning Palace, Chu Nanyue saw Xie Yinhua walking towards him.
She held a luminous glass in her hand, which was filled with wine, and the ruby red color became more and more bewitching in the candlelight.
"General Chu, I'll give you a toast." Xie Yinhua smiled at the corner of her lips.
She saw that Chu Nanyue didn't take it for a long time, and that smile quickly turned into ridicule: "Wine is also precious in our dynasty, probably General Chu hasn't drunk it, right?" ”
Xie Yinhua didn't look down on the Chu family at all, and he didn't think that Chu Nanyue really could get on the stage.
Chu Nanyue still didn't take her wine, but poured herself a glass of others, and said with a smile: "That is what Miss Xie has not heard, and she drinks more wine in the barracks." Now that I don't fight anymore, I just want to drink something else. ”
Chu Nanyue is not trying to deceive Xie Yinhua, whether it is a reward before the army or a drink under the tent, grape wine is probably indispensable.
She didn't think anything out of the ordinary. On the contrary, Xie Yinhua seemed to take this as a kind of privilege to show off. It seems that all relationships, status, are combined with these materialistic pleasures.
"You ......" Xie Yinhua saw that she didn't give face, and her apricot eyes widened slightly.
Chu Nanyue looked at Xie Yinhua and said, "I'm sorry." I can't afford to ask Miss Xie to toast me. ”
She is not afraid of Xie Yinhua. But to be honest, it's still very annoying to have someone around me who is trying to go against him like this.
Chu Nanyue didn't want Xie Yinhua to keep staring at him like this.
Just as the two of them were frozen there, a call suddenly came: "General Chu." ”
The voice was gentle and joyful. It turned out that it was Tanglin Shuo who walked towards Chu Nanyue step by step.
The ladies at the table all made a slight remark. Dongling Shuo came to Kunning Palace, and before he could greet the queen and Xie Yinhua, he called Chu Nanyue first.
But in a blink of an eye, Chu Nanyue was an official of the DPRK and China, and he had a lot of negotiations with him. It's not rude for him to do that.
I saw Dongling Shuo walk into Chu Nanyue's side, and then said: "I didn't know that General Chu would come today, if I had known earlier, I would have come over earlier." ”
There was a remarkable look of surprise in his eyes. At the emperor's Dragon Boat Palace banquet, he didn't have much chance to say a few words to Chu Nanyue. Dongling Shuo originally thought that the queen's palace banquet would not invite Chu Nanyue, so he had no intention of coming.
It wasn't until today that I got the news belatedly. Fortunately, when he rushed over, Chu Nanyue hadn't left yet.
"Hello Sixth Highness." Chu Nanyue also greeted.
Xie Yinhua looked at Tanglin Shuo resentfully from the side, but Dongling Shuo did not give her a look, but walked forward and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, the son is late." ”
"It's good to come." The queen nodded. "Don't sit down yet. Hua'er, you sit down too. ”
Following the queen's order, Xie Yinhua returned to his seat. Needless to say, Tanglin Shuo's seat must be next to Xie Yinhua, far away from Chu Nanyue.
Unable to speak to Chu Nanyue again, Dongling Shuo couldn't help frowning. But he could already hear that Empress Fangcai's tone was not very happy. If he openly went to Chu Nanyue at the banquet, he was afraid that he would provoke the queen to be hostile to Chu Nanyue.
"Sixth brother, what have you been busy with lately? Sometimes, my aunt will complain that you don't come to see her. Xie Yinhua asked.
Her body involuntarily approached Donglin Shuo next to her, trying to get closer to him. And Tanglin Shuo quietly distanced himself away from her.
"There are many cases in the capital, and there are also many things in the DPRK and China. I told my mother this, and she would understand. Tanglin Shuo said lightly.
Relatively wordless. Although Xie Yinhua has been trying hard to find a topic, Donglin Shuo still reacted calmly, and he didn't even look at her, just because of the queen's face. Still politely replying to her words.
Chu Nanyue in the distance didn't know what he was thinking, he only lowered his head and drank wine. And looking at her demeanor, it seems that she has been interested in the palace banquet, and from time to time she turns her head to say something to Qingshuang, maybe she probably wants to go back.
At this moment, Tanglin Shuo suddenly heard a crisp sound from the queen, and it turned out that the queen dropped the cup in her hand on the table.
This was not a big deal, but Tanglin Shuo observed it carefully, and looked at the queen's tired face, and sweat on her forehead. She sat there, almost unsteadily.
Tanglin Shuo hurriedly walked to the queen's side and asked in a low voice, "Queen Mother, are you not feeling well?" ”
"It's probably the palace banquet today, I'm too tired." The queen held her forehead.
She was a little annoyed and helpless with her body, and wanted to make the Dragon Boat Festival more lively, but her body couldn't stand it.
Seeing that the queen was not too unwell, Donglin Shuo relieved herself and said, "It's getting late today, so the queen mother will go back to the palace to rest first." ”
The queen nodded.
Tanglin Shuo said in her place: "You must have enjoyed yourself today, the queen mother is a little tired. That's all for today, and please come back. ”
Hearing Donglin Shuo's words, the ladies at the table all dispersed and walked out.
Chu Nanyue also followed the flow of people and walked out, but saw Donglin Shuo running to his side first, and said softly: "General Chu, can you wait for me for a while?" ”
Without waiting for himself to agree, he ran over again, and walked out of the palace with three or five palace people to help the queen. Xie Yinhua also followed.
Chu Nanyue stood in place, not knowing whether to wait or not. I don't know if Donglin Shuo's sentence is really looking for something for himself.
She was afraid that something important would be delayed, so she had to stay in the hall with Qingshuang, waiting for Donglin Shuo to come over.
